Since, I  lived in Texas, I am getting CA state tax back but I am not sure, if I would also get CA SDI tax refund. Please let me know.

Your employer will have to get SDI tax back for you. It is not something an employer can do on their own.

See the answer from awesome Tax Champ @hbl3973 at CA SDI Refund.

Thanks for letting me know. Is there a online resource or link I can let my employer know from my side, so that they can take appropriate action ?

Point our employer to page 60 of the 2022 California Employer's Guide.

Hi,

Hope you're doing well. Since I work with a big organization like Amazon, it's a bit difficult to chase different teams to do this work. I am also under an impression that, they would issue me a new W2 with my work state as Texas. I think this would create confusion as I have already claimed CA state taxes from FTB.

It is only the CA SDI amount that I want the claim back. So, I wanted to know that if there is someway I could directly contact FTB or EDD, to claim the amount back ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Check with your employer, but they may still be covering you for SDI and possibly unemployment, even though you are working out of state.
